DA Davidson keeps an Underperform rating and $200 price target on Salesforce (CRM) after the company reached an agreement to acquire Informatica (INFA) for $8B. This marks Salesforce’s first headline M&A deal since the company acquired Slack in 2021 for $28B, and while the firm sees potential benefits from the addition of Informatica’s data management capabilities, it is also “hesitant to endorse the deal” given Informatica’s suboptimal execution track record and legacy technology offerings, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
